The application of social networks in the health domain has become increasingly prevalent. They are web-based technologies which bring together a group of people and health-care providers having in common health-related interests, who share text, image, video and audio contents and interact with each other. This explains the increasing amount of attention paid to this topic by researchers who have investigated a variety of issues dealing with the specific applications in the health-care industry. The aim of this study is to systematize this fragmented body of literature, and provide a comprehensive and multi-level overview of the studies that has been carried out to date on social network uses in healthcare, taking into account the great level of diversity that characterizes this industry. To this end, we conduct a scoping review enabling to identify the major research streams, whose aggregate knowledge are discussed according to three levels of analysis that reflect the viewpoints of the major actors using social networks for health-care purposes, i.e., governments, health-care providers (including health-care organizations and professionals) and social networks’ users (including ill patients and general public). We conclude by proposing directions for future research.

Antitrust Laws

AbstractIn National Gerimedical Hospital and Gerontology Center v. Blue Cross of Kansas City, the United States Supreme Court held that there is no blanket exemption from antitrust laws for health planning activities.‘The Court also held that no specific immunity can be granted where the challenged health planning activity is not undertaken pursuant to a federal regulatory scheme. This Comment reviews the Court’s decision and concludes that the Court correctly determined that the challenged activities did not qualify for an exemption. The Comment also examines the implications of the Court's statement that, where Congress has manifested a belief that competition is ineffective in the health care industry, application of the antitrust laws should be modified. The Comment recommends that an intermediate review standard such as the “presumptive, incentive modifying approach” should be used by future courts in deciding whether the ineffectiveness of competition in a given area of health planning activity warrants immunity from antitrust scrutiny.

Blue Shield

As the climate of the health care industry has changed to one of cost-containment and competition through the growth of HMOs and PPOs, health care providers have become the subjects of antitrust litigation. One such case, Northwest Medical Laboratories v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oregon, involved a medical laboratory and a radiology center who claimed that they were victims of an illegal group boycott after defendant's pre-paid health plan denied them preferred provider status. The Oregon Court of Appeals, using the traditional antitrust analysis applied to other industries for decades, failed to consider the intricacies that exist within the health care industry. This result led to an inaccurate market share computation and an inadequate rule of reason analysis. This Comment examines the shortcomings of the Northwest Medical opinion and argues that, in applying the antitrust laws to the health care industry, courts in future cases must recognize and respect the unique features of the business of providing health care.
